I think you’ll love this colorful, pretty fruit salad, which is drizzled with a lovely orange-vanilla syrup, which glosses it up and makes it visually irresistible, which makes you want to stand over the bowl and slurp up every single bite, which won’t leave any for your brunch [...] Keep Reading

I love grilled vegetables more than anything on earth. Well, except my children. And my husband. And chocolate whipped cream coffee ice cream snickers cheesecake nutella loaf. But other than that, I love grilled vegetables more than anything on earth! And this grilled zucchini will rock [...] Keep Reading

This is just a quick, easy side dish that is clean and fresh and knocks my ballet flats off. These noodles were actually part of a larger dish I made last week, but they’re so simple and delicious I wanted to share them as a separate recipe. I repeat: They’re simple. And [...] Keep Reading

I just realized something. Several of my recipes over the past month or so have been cold ones. What does it all mean? Oh. I remember now. It’s summer! This is actually less of a recipe and more of a fun way to serve a fruit salad to your family, at a luncheon, or at a summer [...] Keep Reading

I cooked most of the day yesterday, and here’s how I started the experience: Pulled approximately forty things out of the fridge, pantry, and freezer. After that, I decided what I was going to cook. I wound up making some very yummy things, and before the whole ordeal was over [...] Keep Reading

I made a salad last Friday that was inspired by some scrumptious and enjoyable salad bar experiences I’ve had during recent trips to New York City…where my older daughter and I happen to be visiting this week. Here’s how the New York salad bars go, and maybe I need to get [...] Keep Reading

I thought I’d follow up the french fry post with something slightly more redeeming. I made this salad a couple of weeks ago, and it was a triumph for the taste buds. My favorite salads are ones with lots of different things going on: some kind of fruit, some kind of nut, some kind of [...] Keep Reading

These are the facts of the case and they are undisputed: 1. French fries are delicious. 2. French fries dipped in a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise are divine. 3. Did you know that’s called “Fry Sauce” in Utah? 4. If you peel a bunch of potatoes and cut them into [...] Keep Reading

Hardly anything makes my tastebuds jump up and down and do flip-flops more than bruschetta. I’ve loved it for more than half my life and used to regularly devour it during my vegetarian days, before Marlboro Man roped my heart and introduced me to the world of steak cooked in [...] Keep Reading

My gosh, is this ever good. All the goodness of a juicy cheeseburger in salad form. It’s similar to a taco salad, in that it has a bunch of meat, cheese, and tomato on top of lettuce. But this is…different. It’s crazy, crazy good. You’ll want to eat the meat mixture [...] Keep Reading

This is the third recipe from my Christmas special on Food Network, and as a Christmas side dish, it’s absolutely to die for. Roasted Brussels sprouts are unbelievably delicious in themselves. But drizzle on a glossy black balsamic glaze and toss them with a bunch of tart-and-sweet [...] Keep Reading

I made these duchess potatoes for PW Cooks in early November, but decided to wait to post them at Christmastime once I decided to make them on the Christmas special instead of mashed potatoes. I decided to make duchess potatoes instead of mashed potatoes on the Christmas special [...] Keep Reading

This is a recreation of a common broccoli-cheese dish I’ve seen on a couple of down-home restaurant menus…and it’s a little on the weird side. Sometimes, though, weird can be a wonderful thing. I love broccoli-cheese anything (see the soup I posted a couple of weeks ago) [...] Keep Reading

I’m a lover of root vegetables and will take them however I can get them. This is a simple way to enjoy an assortment of root veggies in tiny bites (rather than pureed or in big chunks) and can be eaten as a snack or as a pretty side dish. I called them “candy” not [...] Keep Reading

Years and years ago, I had lunch with my mom in Tulsa. I’d just been to a hair salon to try to reverse the tragic effects of having used Sun-In on my hair that entire summer, and my mom and I were celebrating that the hairdresser had successfully been able to change my hair from [...] Keep Reading

I found some smoked Gouda at my lovely little local grocery store yesterday, and I knew immediately what I was going to make. It’s a pasta salad based loosely on one I tried from Whole Foods a couple of weeks ago, one brought to the Lodge by recent guests. I can’t remember all [...] Keep Reading

At the salad supper I attended a couple of weeks ago–the one that gave birth to this chicken salad I made recently–four salads were served on a great big dinner plate. It was a lovely assortment of textures and flavors, and I left the party declaring that salads are my favorite [...] Keep Reading
